No because they used that point to say they have sympathy for the idea of innovating aircraft.

I don't see how having a marginal amount of single-engine aviation flight experience is relevant to Dunning-Kruger.

Commercial aviation is conservative because aviation is "hard" and mistakes in aviation are "extremely costly".
